The only difference is the 'eco' part. Hundreds of
years ago everything was 'eco' as Sunray Kelley notes in this
interview about
natural building. Only with the advent of industrial processes
that are collectively damaging the environment have we
recognised a need to return to a more natural 'eco' way of life.
Many people still live a low-impact life in small communities all
over the world. They grow their food together, build their homes
together and contribute to the community with their particular
skills providing each other and neighbouring communities with
local goods and services. Making the transition to an ecoVillage
or Intentional Community is no easy task.
To help you connect with opportunities to join established and
developing communities we keep an
EcoVillage
List in our Facebook group Talking Natural Homes.
Listing your ecoVillage
If you represent an Intentional Community or ecoVillage or you are a group of people
hoping to establish a new community then you can register your
project on the
EcoVillage List. Your post
will be reviewed and you may be contacted to clarify details.
This listing is not an opportunity for selling private plots
of land. It is only for established or newly forming
ecoVillages. An entry to the list should look like this:
LOCATION (area, state, country), DESCRIPTION (3-4 lines in
English), and a LINK (your Community Website or
Facebook page).
Natural Homes has over 2 million Facebook followers, over
75,000 group members and around
20,000 daily web visitors.
Adverts for the ecoVillage list are seen about 10,000 times per month
on this website and the list is publicised regularly to our
Facebook audience. |
